Heron Hill 2007 Late Harvest Vidal Blanc

Heron Hill 2007 Late Harvest Vidal Blanc ($19.99) is the perfect summer dessert wine.  It is exceptionally well-balanced with tangy and sweet fruit flavors, a hint of vanilla, and a spicy finish. This wine — like with most dessert wines — is best enjoyed on its own after a meal or paired with dessert (it should be served between 58 and 62 degrees).
